Shipibo Shamanic Ceremonial Rattle~Maraca | Medium-sized | 100% Naturally Sourced and Handcrafted by Shipibo Artisans from Pucallpa, Peruvian Rainforest, Peru

Connect with the living traditions of the Amazon through this authentic Shipibo-Konibo ceremonial rattle, a sacred sound instrument handcrafted by Indigenous artisans of the Peruvian rainforest.
Traditionally used by curanderos and shamans, this rattle accompanies ícaros (sacred healing songs) during plant medicine ceremonies, rituals, meditations, and sound healing sessions. It is an essential tool in shamanic practices, often used to clear negative energy, enhance spiritual focus, and purify spaces. With its rhythmic sound, the rattle provides accompaniment to sacred songs, supporting both energy work and trance states. Shaken gently, it induces a meditative calm, while stronger shakes help build energy, deepen focus, and connect practitioners with ancestral wisdom.
Each rattle is hand-carved from a gourd, fitted with a chonta wood handle, and filled with seeds or beads creating distinct sounds and producing a warm, grounding sound believed to help cleanse energy, guide visions, and support spiritual alignment.
